FAQs
What is a whirlwind pavement sign?
A whirlwind pavement sign is a type of outdoor advertising display designed to be easily movable and highly visible. It features a double-sided graphic or message panel that stands on a sturdy base, often filled with sand or water to provide stability against wind. The sign is designed to rotate or sway in the wind, drawing attention to the advertised message. Whirlwind pavement signs are commonly used by businesses, restaurants, and event venues to promote specials, announcements, or directional information, making them effective for attracting foot traffic and passersby.
What size is a whirlwind sign?
Our outdoor whirlwind sign is available in the generous A1 size, measuring 594 mm x 841 mm. This large format ensures maximum visibility, making your message stand out in any outdoor environment, whether for promotions, events, or directional signage.
Are posters included with whirlwind signs?
Our whirlwind signs are sold as sign-only units. You can purchase graphics separately from our dedicated poster printing category.
How do I install or replace pavement sign posters?
To install graphics, begin by opening the outer frame on one side. Next, carefully insert the poster, ensuring it is positioned correctly. Begin securing the poster by snapping shut the upper edge of the frame. Adjust the graphic as needed to ensure it is straight and centred. Finally, snap the remaining edges of the outer frame into place to fully secure the poster. Repeat this process on the other side.
What is the turnaround time?
The turnaround time for whirlwind signs depends on your chosen product specification and finishing options. For faster delivery, we offer express production upgrades at an additional cost.

Design guidelines
Templates
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant product template from our templates section. Don’t forget to delete the template layer before exporting your design to PDF.
Colour
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to CMYK which may change your colour profile.
Fonts
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
Image resolution
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
Crop marks and bleed
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
File format
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.
